[PATCH v7 0/2] riscv: Create and document PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX prctl

[Charlie Jenkins]

Improve the performance of icache flushing by creating a new prctl flag
PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX. The interface is left generic to allow
for future expansions such as with the proposed J extension [1].

Documentation is also provided to explain the use case.
